Oh well. Whatever. Nevermind.
The title of this post is how a NY Times writer described Michael Cera’s face. I have no idea what that really means but points for originality. The profile of Cera, pegged on his upcoming movie “Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist”, is well worth a read for all Cera fans. Plus it mentioned Cera’s “outtake” from “Knocked Up” in which he gets fired, which somehow I’d never seen before and which I give you now to enjoy. So enjoy:
It’s easy to forget this amidst all the political excitement surrounding the bailout, but the greed and irresponsibility of Wall Street is going to ensure that many people who worked their whole lives to build up sufficient savings lose everything. Seniors living off investments and near-retirees will be particularly hard hit, and they will have done nothing to deserve it. Meanwhile, those who caused the crisis will still be rich, and most of them will still have their jobs. That we’ve not seen mass resignations on Wall Street is fair evidence of how sick and self-absorbed and irresponsible our financial culture has become. Hell, in another age or country, some trader or another would have had the decency to jump out a window by now.
Bill Maher kills it with his last “rule”.

Crappy news, Paul Newman has died from cancer at the age of 83. From CNN:
He stumped for liberal causes, including Eugene McCarthy’s 1968 presidential candidacy, and earned a spot on Richard Nixon’s enemies list — “the highest single honor I’ve ever received,” he said.
In 1982, Newman and his friend A.E. Hotchner founded Newman’s Own, a food company that produced food ranging from pasta sauces to salad dressing to chocolate chip cookies.
“The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is outgrossing my films,” Newman once wryly noted.
To date, the company — which donates all profits to charities such as Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang camps — has given away more than $200 million. Newman established the camp to benefit gravely ill children.
Here’s one of the great scenes from my favorite Newman movie, Cool Hand Luke:
My Dad says the line “What we have here is a failure to communicate” all the time. You will be missed Mr. Newman.
17 minutes long but well worth watching it all.
Man’s real good on politics, despite what he says. Also, that crack about Larry King getting married 12 times was priceless. via
No need to watch the debate tonight, John McCain’s already won it. Thats according to online ad’s his campaign is already running at least.
Twitter launches an Election 2008 page.
Maybe the greatest cancer fundraising video ever made:
